Scan to BIM — As-Built BIM Models
Intelligent, parametric building models built from verified laser scan data.
What Is Scan to BIM?
Scan to BIM is the process of converting registered point cloud data into a fully detailed Building Information Model. Starting from millions of verified measurement points, our modelling team builds accurate three-dimensional representations of walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows, columns, and MEP systems directly in Revit or ArchiCAD. The result is a parametric, intelligent model that reflects the true existing conditions of your building.
Every scan-to-BIM project is scoped to a specific Level of Detail (LOD), ranging from LOD 100 for basic massing through LOD 300 for detailed component-level modelling. We work with your team to define exactly what gets modelled and to what precision, ensuring the deliverable aligns with your project requirements and budget.
We deliver Revit as-builts and ArchiCAD models to architecture, engineering, and construction teams in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, and across Canada. Whether you are planning a renovation, coordinating MEP systems, or documenting an existing facility, a scan-to-BIM model gives your team a verified digital foundation to work from.
Who Needs Scan to BIM?
Architects
Start your renovation or adaptive reuse project with a verified as-built model instead of outdated drawings. An accurate Revit model accelerates design and eliminates costly field conflicts downstream.
MEP Engineers
Coordinate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems against verified existing conditions. A scan-to-BIM model lets you run clash detection, route new systems, and plan shutdowns with confidence.
Facility Managers
Build a living digital record of your property for ongoing maintenance, capital planning, and tenant improvements. A BIM model centralises building intelligence in a format your operations team can use for years.
Renovation Contractors
Reduce risk on renovation and fit-out projects with accurate existing-conditions data. Knowing exactly what is behind walls and above ceilings before work begins keeps your project on schedule and on budget.
Our Scan to BIM Process
Point Cloud Review
We begin by reviewing the registered point cloud dataset to assess coverage, density, and quality. Any gaps or areas requiring additional scan data are identified before modelling begins.
LOD Scoping
We work with your team to define the Level of Detail, building systems to include, and any project-specific modelling standards. A clear scope document ensures alignment before production starts.
Modelling & Detailing
Our BIM team models the building directly from the point cloud, constructing walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows, columns, and MEP elements to the agreed LOD. Every component is placed and verified against the scan data.
Quality Audit & Delivery
The completed model undergoes a thorough quality audit, checking element accuracy against the source point cloud, verifying naming conventions, and confirming compliance with your BIM standards. The final model is delivered with supporting documentation.
What You Receive
Your scan-to-BIM deliverable is a fully structured, production-ready model that integrates directly into your design and coordination workflows. We deliver in the authoring platform your team uses.
Models are delivered at LOD 100 through LOD 300, depending on project scope. LOD 200 is the most common specification for renovation and retrofit projects, capturing all major architectural and structural elements with accurate geometry and placement.
Each delivery includes the BIM model file, a modelling scope summary, and a quality assurance report. The linked point cloud is included so your team can verify any element against the source data at any time.
